No, I don't see anyone bashing Clarke, whom I have exchanged many PMs with on a few forums,often helping with backpacking gear advice as I am much older than he and have been at it for decades.

What, I DO see, is some merely offering a cautionary post and some of us doing so actually have employment experience of a nature that tends tosubstantiate our concerns.

Courage,is great, but, remember the full-on frontal attacks on Dominion Day, 1916, at "The Somme" and what that cost us.....sometimes, a little more discretion wins a greater victory in the long term, as the C.E.F. under Bing's brilliant training/leadership showed at "Vimy" almost a year later..........
